   There are a few VTR registration plates on regtransfer website - do you think I should go for one or not?!

   Can finish a car off nicely but a more personal one is better and you can keep it for life

   I've thought about this a couple of times and my personal conclusion was that I think my car would be too distinctive.

   I think it depends on the car with reg plates, at the end of the day you really don't want a license plate thats worth half as much as the car, if your gonna get a private reg i'd agree with the first post, Get 1 thats personal that you can keep and means more to you.

    £500 is a lot for a VTR plate. Look on DVLA site I bet there are ones for £250 but even still thats a waste.
    
    I wanted JORG663, it was 2k but now sold. Might settle on N70RGE at somepoint
